Charming Cottage Design
This 750-square-foot cottage offers a compact one-story layout with one bedroom and one full bathroom. Its 30-foot-wide by 50-foot-deep footprint creates an efficient home while leaving room for a front and rear porch.
A one-car front-entry garage adds practical covered parking and storage without overwhelming the home’s compact proportions.
Efficient Single Story
All 750 square feet of heated living space are located on the first floor. The 9-foot ceiling height creates comfortable proportions throughout the main living areas.
The overall structure reaches approximately 18 feet 9 inches in height, maintaining a modest cottage profile.
Open Living Arrangement
The cottage uses an open floor plan that connects the main living spaces. A kitchen island provides a central workspace and helps define the kitchen within the shared arrangement.
The open design allows the living areas to feel connected while making efficient use of the home’s 750 square feet.
Private Bedroom Suite
The single bedroom is located on the main floor, providing convenient one-level living. Its placement keeps the private sleeping area easily accessible from the home’s shared spaces.
The one-bedroom configuration makes the plan particularly straightforward for a household seeking a compact home with essential spaces on one level.
Convenient Garage Space
A 330-square-foot one-car front-entry garage provides covered parking and additional functional space. Its front-entry configuration gives residents direct access to the home.
The garage is separate from the 750 square feet of heated living space, providing useful utility without increasing the primary living area.
Practical Laundry Area
The laundry is located on the main floor, keeping this everyday household function conveniently accessible.
Its placement within the single-story layout supports an efficient daily routine without requiring a separate utility level.
Welcoming Porch Spaces
The plan includes both front and rear porches, providing 210 square feet of total porch space. The front porch measures 30 square feet, while the rear porch provides 180 square feet.
These outdoor areas extend the home’s usable space and create comfortable locations for relaxing or enjoying the surrounding property.
Simple Roof Profile
A 6:12 main roof pitch gives the cottage a clean, balanced roofline that complements its compact proportions.
The exterior framing is specified as 2×6 wood, providing a substantial framing system for the one-story structure.
Flexible Foundation Options
The plan is available with either a slab or crawlspace foundation. These options provide flexibility for different building sites and construction preferences.
The foundation choices allow the compact cottage design to adapt to varying site conditions while maintaining its efficient footprint.
Efficient Cottage Living
With one bedroom, one bathroom, an open floor plan, kitchen island, main-floor laundry, one-car garage, and front and rear porches, this cottage makes practical use of 750 square feet.
